    This one actually I didn't because it seemed more of a laugh to me than anything more. Guess the suggestion from now would be "if no money then carry a Parker or sheaffer or some shiny pen in your pocket"

    I had this strange incident last week. I was waiting for the Green signal at a traffic light near Kammanahalli, on my R15. As soon as I saw Green, I took a right where the traffic cops stopped me. And he claimed that I jumped the signal, when I did not. He demanded Rs 200/- for the same. I told him that I did not jump the signal. After some argument he did not budge and I had to settle for a challan of Rs 100/-.

    Is there is a site where I can log a complaint against this incident.

    always carry all your documents with you.

    as as far as overspeeding is considered. either do not do it or take it to a level that before cops can even start their bikes, you should become invisible.

    yesterday, a funny thing happened, two cops on their bike (Painted white and yellow - age old fiero) chased and caught a guy on an R15 and was fined for overspeeding. poor guy. i was watching them.

    So you paid a bribe. Easy way out huh? Easier to blame cops as corrupt when the public itself is fueling this corruption.



    Hah !!! It takes two to tango my friend.



    Sorry, i didn't get this part... is that supposed to be an achievement?

    P.S. Not intending to be rude, but please dont post such details here. This forum strives to motivate good riding habits.
    Exactly my thoughts as well. Some of the last posts depict as though it was an achievement to get caught for over-speeding or evading cops. i blame this trend all on fast and furious 5

    I too have got two speeding tickets, one on the BIAL road and other was on the ORR. I always follow the road rules except the speed thing, but I don't ride rash, only well below my limits and self & others safety.

    And I should share these.
    1) once when I was on my friend's RTR, I was hearing music and riding, I usually let the earphone inside my shirt and clip it from inside. I was caught on the ORR for overspeeding on a open stretch 82Kmph. I had removed my earphones and put it in my pocket. The cop was giving me two choice either pay 300 for speeding ticket and get the bill or give him 100 and fly away. Suddenly his face was sweating and in a frightened voice asked me am I a journalist is that a mic in your shirt. The set up made him think like i am taping him for some show. Then confirming it is not he was relaxed and I settled with the second option and flew away.
    2) My friend knows there are interceptors at BIAL, when ever he passes that stretch he used to increase speeds 90+ and keeps flickering his lamp at the cops and no one dares to stop him .

    And now I am worried as a CBR owner that it is a very good corrupt cops magnet.

    Unfortunately, the only way to figure it out would be to ride between 60 & 80kmph, & see if the interceptor catches hold of us.
    I was caught once and advised to go below 80 KM/H

    i live in pune and on my way to college and back there are three spots where policemen catch mostly college goers for license and documents checking.......yesterday when the cop tried to stop me i just went past him turning a blind eye two cops came behind me on a ct 100 with the pillion cop swinging his stick at me i was not going above 40 and so they caught up to me pretty soon and the stick hit my helmet...i was agitated and i pulled over and paid them rs.300........i want to know if the cops are allowed to stop people just to check their license....it is really annoying because on my way to college and back i am stopped 6times....and in total i am stopped at least 10 times in a day while roaming around the city.....are the cops allowed to do this???? plzz give me your opinions and advice on how to avoid them or argue with them in case they stop me again

    Was riding towards State Central Library (Cubbon Park) from the Hudson Circle entrance yesterday around 7pm. Was easily doing upwards of 50kmph as the
    road is wide & usually empty. Saw a red laser like light on the road, just before the rose garden. Wondering what it was, I looked up only to see an interceptor.
    The interceptor just had 1 man sitting inside, next to the equipment, & no cops around to stop motorists/cars.
    I'm pretty sure they have captured my offence, & I should get a challan home-delivered sometime soon.
